Has anyone ??s
Hello Ladies:
I haven't announced my pregnancy to anyone but my hubby (of course)-and now this MB.. We want to wait until 1st trimester is over which will be early Oct. We have had our first ultrasound this week and we have a wonderful lil bean with a great heartbeat. This is my first pregnancy and I had RNY five years ago this Oct. (Losing and keeping off over 120 pounds). Not only did I have that; I also had an tummy tuck (with anchor cut). This was 2 1/2 years ago. I have been steady weight within five pounds for the past year or lil more.
Here is my question-
1) Has anyone had the tummy tuck with anchor and have any issues with skin stretching? I don't have feeling to touch the skin from my (new) belly button to the top of my panty line however, I have this funny feeling under the skin...I know two places have grown in the last several weeks; my waistline (pants don't fit) and my breast....I am already up one bra size. so anyone have a funny feeling around where you had a tummy tuck?
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Stacey

i had a lower body lift in 2006... my last pregnancy hurt like hell towards the end... i really thought that i was just going to burst... i didnt... this time i can already feel tightness ( 12 weeks) ... the good news was... i didnt feel ANY contractions... and i didnt have an epi...not sure if its related.. nor did they ever register ( bad part)... congrats!
Hi Stacey....
CONGRATULATIONS on your WL, success and now being PG....how exciting...we are almost surgery buddies...I also just had my first baby (well 10 months ago tomorrow) and I had a tummy tuck anchor cut....
I did UNFORTUNATELY gain about 35 pounds back after my TT but still felt a lot of pressure at times during my pregnancy and am sure it had to do with the stomach muscle tightening....everyone is different but I did feel tightness....unfortunately the other thing is that I do not think I looked very cute pregnant...lol...in that I mean my tummy looked more boxy than the cute little roundness....again, that is just me...
Congrats again and we look forward to sharing your journey with you....
